Store upgrades are good and the candles are great for challenges.

I doubt it, it's not in Challenge runs
The 999 item is extremely OP.
This game is fucking crack in video game form. I love it.
Just killed Mom's Heart for the very first time. I continue to suck at the game, but at least I can get there consistently now.
Seems to me by reading some posts in this thread that I'm barely scratching the surface of the game. Tons of things to unlock that I have no idea how you guys are doing it.
I suck so much, but the game is so, so good.

It seems that it's more likely to jam when you have a lot of money or have items which could potentially get you a lot of money.
Which sucks, but kinda makes sense, I guess, given that with the right items you can easily hit 100+ coins in a run.

I dunno, I've had it jam after one coin when I only had four coins. Then there was one run when I fed it like 75 coins.
I had a run with a blank card and 2 of diamonds. Infinite money basically lol.
Also, I'm currently sitting in the room with blue baby waiting for my peeper to slowly kill him lol.

What do you mean? Each area has it's own music, each boss/set of bosses have their own music, it's not really going to be any different.

What happens? I imagined a whirling dervish of knives that you can move around but it sounds like it's not the case.
Nope. You only control the singular knife and the damage gets reduced greatly. The control isn't worth the damage loss at all.

I made the mistake of picking up Ludovico Technique when I already had Tiny Planet... somehow finished the run anyway.
the stopwatch.
The more I play (read: sit holding 'r' hoping for a decent / ANY item to use)
the more I realise that it's probably one of the worst things they could have added to the game. It's just so horrendously unfun to play, to the point where I'd almost consider it bad game design, llike you make a game based around items then make about 90% of them useless and undesireable, or hell, half the time inaccessible due to the sheer lack of resources in hard mode. And I get it it's all supposed to be a super hardcore challenge for the hardest of hardcore people, even so it doesn't change how utterly dependent on items the character is to get anything resemling a run going. Just feels like difficulty for the sake of difficulty. With only 10 achievements to go I'd love to just knock this game out for a 100% but I'm afraid my patience might give in before that, we will see.
could probably be considered one of the biggest difficulty spikes in gaming if it weren't somewhat optional.

after i did it and was researching why i didn't get godhead i found this page:
http://www.reddit.com/r/bindingofis...y_of_obtaining_the_godhead_tips_to_help_with/
it's got some great tips, most of which i discovered the hard way.
the one tip i never thought of, that i wish i thought of, is that if you
spawn next to a challenge/trap room you should check it for a dead cat. you'll lose a life on the way out, but still well worth it. guppy collar also might work, since it might revive you when you die on exit. i only ever checked treasure rooms, and i think this might have increased my 'attempts per hour' a bit during restarting sessions
That said, i absolutely agree it'll break your head and is ridiculously unfun.
I know what to look for, it just happens to suck even more when a run ends after finding such a good item. The
took me to the
the first time I got it, but it's so rare to find again. I've found a couple of dead cats, the 2nd time got completely destroyed, catacombs 2 boss was double blue champion gurdy jr. which ate so many lives followed by a necropolis 1
, wonderful. I've found a
once, took me to depths 2 where I paniced upon entering a room with 6 vis / double vis and couldn't find a safe gap between their beams. Don't get me wrong I know it's me making the mistakes in these situations, it's just the time it takes to get anything useful is so long and boring at times that you aren't just throwing the run away, you're throwing away every reset that came before it.

I had to make a choice between Krampus Head and keeping my Red Candle last run. I made the mistake of keeping Red Candle, which is great for dotting the shit out of bosses, not great for hitting a lot of enemies/trying to complete a regular room. I also forgot that I had a Habit on, which would've been way more help on the kramp head.
Needless to say I tore through Satan but died quickly in the
Dark Room
I just stared a run with Pyro in the first item room on Pyromaniac in the second. I immediately went in search of the secret room using one of my 99 self-healing bombs and found myself in a secret room with three pills in it. I popped one and... bombs are key.

Just started this game for the first time and I have to ask we're the dev's stoned when they came up with this game? The concept is really out there as the wtf am I playing moments. Shooting piles of shit, I don't know what the hell I'm doing or what the point of this game is. I heard a lot of praise but I'm not sure what it is why people are enjoying this. Maybe I need to give the game more time, but it seems like a really acquired taste.

Welcome to Edmund McMillian's games. Even if you can't appreciate the gim setting the gameplay is absolutely best in class

Look past the poop and see that the game is deeper than deep. A massive number of powerups means the game is infinitely replayable and you'll constantly find new powerup combos and ways to use them.
We aren't loving the game because you shoot piles of poop. However, upon playing the game for any length of time you'll realize the aesthetics and the rest do have a lot of meaning behind them. It's not just poop for poops sake.
I also really like the aesthetics just because it's so radically different from everything else ever. If anything I find it all rather adorable, not gross or even juvenile.
Getting better at killing Mom's Heart.
This was my third kill tonight (second in a row). Only three hearts and takes about 30 seconds.

I'm kinda proud of myself, in a noobish kinda way.

I kinda feel you're screwed if you didn't do the challenges early on, and the challenges don't scale well to the added difficulties of the game.
I was trying to do the head trauma challenge last night, and oh boy - instead of fighting basic monsters in boss rooms I get the Dark One, and instead of Depths I get Necropolis with the 3 Pin bosses room.. Wtf really
I would love if the challenges stayed the same throughout the game and you wouldn't get the more difficult floors/bosses in them. Now some of the challenges feel down right impossible.

Man they really need to change some of the icons for stuff. Some bad items look way too similar to good ones. Had a run with the blue map, matchstick, quad shot and ipacac ruined by that fucking curse eye. Thought it was mom's pearl. Bob's brain looks too much common cold too.
This game is definitely one of my top games for sure, the sheer scope and variation one can encounter is nearly limitless. Way better than Spelunky, only played Spelunky for 5 hours whereas I have 25+ hours and counting in this. Definitely speaks of the quality that Edmund and co. released. Albeit it did take me sometime to warm up to it.
I platinum god'ed the first one, and I'm on my way with this, but getting bandage girl is going to be a bitch; already got all the no hit achievements.
Oh and I don't know if this was posted but someone modded the original music back in. It is leagues better now with the original soundtrack. Let's face it this soundtrack is one of the biggest let downs from Rebirth.

Bob's Brain is more...brain-like. You can see the ridges and valleys of a brain on Bob's Brain while Common Cold is more of a gunk-pile.
Cursed Eye is WAY too close, but note it should always be on a pedestal as it's a collectable and Mom's Pearl is a trinket so it will be unceremoniously lying on the floor. You can double check the exact pixels on http://platinumgod.co.uk/rebirth if you're really confused.
More embarrassingly, I keep confusing Soy Milk for one of the injections (a la speed ball, growth hormones). It looks nothing like them. That item is just made to doom my runs. I also picked up Monstro's Lung a couple times on accident thinking it was a baby familiar. It's not bad, but confusing.

So I've beaten
twice now and was wondering if I need to be doing something else other than just playing the game as I have been to unlock more content?

Yes and no. You are not done yet, but you're not really to the point where you need to be picky about what to do. Go for new boss kills (as shown on the main menu) with each character and you should find things soon enough.
Don't forget to look in Devil/God rooms...even if you think you don't need it

Thanks. I've been using mostly Isaac the whole time but have unlocked most of the others and will use them now.
Got both Super Meat Boy and Super Bandage Girl, arguably some of the hardest to attain unless you 'break the game' by using monster manuel. Got them legitimately by getting the book of revelations on the first floor both times. Now all that's left is the
which is the next hardest thing to finish, especially in
.
